Application led March 10, 1916. Serial No. 83,399.

To all whom t may concern:

e it known that I, BERT W. FLANDERS, a. citizen of the United States, residing at N ew London, in the county of New llondon and State of Connecticut, have invented new and useful Improvements in Fumigators, of which the following is a specification. Y his invention relates to fumigators has for its primary object to construct a fumigator that may be readily attached to a an.

' An object of the invention is to so mount tie fumigator upon the fan that the former will be subjected to the air currents from the fan.

Another object of the invention is to construct a fumigator in which the parts are so arranged that the supply of disinfectant will continuously supplied in the path of Era-vel of the air currents generated by the an. A further object of the invention is to construct a fumigator havin movable parts actuated by the rotary mem er of la fan.

With these and other objects in view, the lnvention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated-in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.

In the drawings :e Figure 1 is a side elevation of one form of my invention shown attached to a fan. Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof.

ig. 3 is a vertical section on the line 3`3 of Fig. l. l

Fig. 4 is a detail view. Referring to that form of drawings, the numerals 1 and2 designate a pair of end plates. Between the upper end portions of the plates is arranged a disinfectant receiving tank 3, thelatter being formed a tiling cap 4. Arranged in the bottom portion of the tank 3 is a roller 4 having one end protruding beyond the side plate 2 so as to make connection with a gear 5-that receives an intermittent motion in a manner to be described later. Mounted adjacent the upper edge of the tank 3 are a series of rollers 6, while arranged between the lower ends of the plates 1 and 2 for adjustment as illustrated at 8.

assing around the roller just described is an endless apron 9 made of anysuitable material capable-of conveyin a portion of the disinfectant from the tan 3.

The device is effectively secured to the frame l0 of a fan l1 by means of clips 12 in such a manner that the teeth of the'gear 5 may be successively engaged by a finger 13 secured to one of the blades of the rotary member of the fan.

By having the device constructed as set forth, the major portion of the air currents from the fan must pass through the apron 9 and in view of the fact that the apron is heavily loaded with disinfectant the air current will be properly saturated.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it should be apparent that I provide a device which is admirably 4adapted for the purpose for which it is intended, that the devlce is simple, durable and efficient in construction, and that the device may be manufactured and sold at a comparatively low cost. e

vWhat I claim is zfumigator attachment fora fan comprising a disinfectant receiving tank and an absorbent material for conveying the dis'- infectant and supported below the tank in the path of movement of air currents from the 4fan, means for giving movement. to the absorbent material member supported by one .de of the fan adapted to engage said gear for intermittently moving the same and a manual control valve controling the flow of fluid from the tank to said material.

In testimony whereof ll aHix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
